Listening to Yield right now. In Hiding -- 5-star song or 6-star song?

Guys, we are in the home stretch. Backspacer leaked about 10 days out from release. Isn't Europe supposed to be getting the album on Oct 11? If we can hope for a leak around the same time as Backspacer, we could be getting it any time now.

I don't like the chorus much, but everything else is A+.

No, I think it's Germany and Australia only getting it on the 11th. UK and elsewhere is the 14th.

Just goes to show it's impossible to please everyone. If I could only ever hear one Pearl Jam song for the rest of my life and it had to be this one, I'd be totally fine with that. 5* for me.

Well if somebody anywhere gets it, it's going to leak. We won't have to wait til the 15th, that's for sure.

Has ANYBODY well known gotten an album to the release date without a leak in the past few years? Has anybody gotten really close (within a couple of days)?

How about it showing that different people have different opinions?

I'm not sure, but PJ have been really good about it this time. Even huge releases like the new Kanye and Jay-Z leaked months in advance. I figure once it goes out to distribution and CD's start being printed, that is when it leaks.

Why does Pearl Jam love Germany so much? and why do Germans love David Hasselhoff?
